Quantum computing will be key for the take off of IoT

Within the next years the biggest changes and strongest influence from IoT will be seen in the industrial sector and in critical infrastructure, with focus on Middle East and South America as legacy is of less importance there and the implementation of IoT is an opportunity for expansion. Due of the growing amount of data that IoT produces, the real take off of IoT will happen together with quantum computing as then computing and security obstacles can be solved at the same time, says Scott Amyx, IoT Strategist, CEO at Amyx+ and IBM IoT Futurist. Interview by Julia Weinzettl

Scott Amyx will be speaking at the M2M/IoT Forum on March 27th-28th in Vienna, Austria.

What economic sector will be most influenced by IoT within the next years?

Scott Amyx: In my opinion the primary focus near term is still the industrial side. That´s fairly a canvassing statement. IoT will have strong influence in supporting the automotive industry, the building industry and consumer electronics, but fundamentally we are really talking about a b2b in some cases a b2b2c type of situation. Now additionally we are going to see momentum around critical infrastructure - electric grid,  gas pipelines, telecommunications for example are starting to be influenced by IoT, specifically the regions we are going to see arise are the Middle East as well as South America.

Why there?

Scott Amyx: This not too surprising as in more mature markets like the EU and North America utilities or energy companies are primarily compliance and regulation driven. In order to make these types of investments cost savings and efficiency in automation has to be overwhelming. If you already have an existing set of infrastructure it´s difficult to overhaul it as it´s incremental, whereas in the case of South America and the Middle East, investment in IoT basically is an opportunity for expansion. We are talking about laying down a brand new set of fiber optics next to utilities - whether it´s gas lines or electric lines - under the ground. More importantly they are interested in getting very granular data at each point. It´s not just some data at the end mile or at the beginning and the end of the transmission but it´s actually the data in the process. One application for this data is for analytics but it´s also increasingly used for security. Which is a double sided sword, because as we start to allow these IP addressable types of connectivity, we need to make sure that there are no potential gaps opened, that leave a backdoor entry into the entire system of the grid. It´s not just a matter of economy but also a political and military defense issue.

If we look into the future within the next ten years what changes will we find in our society because of the technological advancements?

Scott Amyx: I think there will be quite some changes in the next ten years, but I wonder if this time frame is closer to the next twenty or twenty five years. At the moment there is a lot of discussion and controversy around the topics of AI, robotics and 4th industrial revolution and is it´s role in society. We all know that there is going to be a huge job loss as the world economic forum has stated it and many more. It´s a bit of a given known.

Scott Amyx, CEO Amyx+

What is your view on this matter?

Scott Amyx: One thing that people don´t really appreciate is that there is a difference between task versus job. For instance if you think about the old days when there was an actual person who would route phone calls and connected your call to where you wanted to call. That´s a task and that´s were automation comes in. I think what people have to recognise is that tasks will be automated - whatever those tasks are - but the jobs are just going to change. Moreover it´s not simple labor destruction it rather is a fluid, dynamic reconstruction of the labor economics. So the automation of tasks will lead to the loss of some jobs not needed any longer - like there is much less need for blacksmiths since the invention of the car - but it will emerge into the creation of new jobs. The way I see it is that automation helps us to increase the standard of living. If I can automate ten tasks that frees me up to have more time and resources as i don´t have to allocate money to that tasks any more. That means I can reallocate my time and effort into other things. The future of jobs is in human to human relationships in particular in empathy business models.

Do you have examples for that?

Scott Amyx: If you look into the last ten years, there has been a significant rise in empathy roles such as coaching, spiritual leaders whether it´s yogis or others, as well increasing counseling and psychotherapy. Let´s take this into the future: when we travel different parts of the world sometimes what we are looking for is connection, maybe I just want to have coffee with somebody - another human being - in a new city that I’m not familiar with or maybe I want a tour guide - not because I can´t access my map - but because I want to connect with another human. These kind of jobs will not only not vanish but increase.  

Coming back to the topic of IoT - do you think that the major breakthrough will come once we change to quantum computing?

Scott Amyx: Yes, and the reason for that is, as you are probably aware, in the internet of things, there are some pervasive and some dogmatic challenges that the industry faces. One would be the interoperability or lack of security which is one of the biggest challenges but here is a ton of other issues that prevent IoT from truly taking off. Some of the benefits of quantum computing is that it will handle computation faster as well as handle more complex computations that are fundamentally different from the classical computers. That allows for us data crunching, the ability to run all the inputs at the same time and get immediate results mainly because of the facturing aspect, the memory space and sequential processing that will not be supported real time by classical machines. With IoT the volume of data, different data types and the metadata is increasing. We are capturing data from couches and floors, walls and paints, agriculture and water. The other important part is security. Both primarily to solve difficult cryptography as well as to create security. This is hugely important and is the notion of quantum key distribution. Predictive data analytics will be able to be handled and will literally support machine learning. That will produce so much complexities whether it’s around discovery, cybersecurity, finance or health care. All these very complex optimisation problems especially in support of machine learning and deep learning of neural networks will be supported. If you developed a very complex system like a smart city IT implementation you will have an IoT system just for lighting that connects one building. This system will then connect with other lighting systems across the city, with the traffic IoT systems, the CCTV IoT systems, water systems and so forth and so forth. You have layers and layers of systems and systems. How do you verify that everything is working correctly? Well, quantum can potentially handle a lot of the verification and validation process quickly.

Cool-Down:     5 Skin-The-Cats   (on the rings)

Notes:

Nearly everyone claimed RX, which is the CrossFit Games level of perfection of the accepted Points of Performance.  Lew was one of the few who didn’t claim RX.  I try to just praise, not criticize.

If you drink beer and watch these workouts like I have for over 12 years you will come to realize that there is a very consistent INVERSE correlation between an athletes score and the quality of their movements.  Only with the top Games competitors do they learn that “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.”

It was sweet to have all 3 of the Kennedy boys here today, but I would have traded them all just to see Angel.

The Skin-The-Cats  were fun to watch.  Most were afraidy-cats to even try until they saw Carolyn do them so perfectly, and then the guys wouldn’t allow for her to out-shine them.   Almost everyone did all 5 reps.  Even Amyx.  Timmy (The Cruel) did lovely controlled, straight-legged Skin-The-Cats that even Manny would have approved.  A few were thrilled to get 1 and quit.  But unfortunately there were a few who didn’t even try.  I won’t name names.

Thursday at 4 PM.  A wine tasting will follow.  I fear that the firewood is too damp for a fire.  Sometimes we just stay cozy inside the Barn by the Quartz heater.  It’s always fun whatever we do.

Airports of the Future: Streamlined Security Clearance, Increased Comforts, and Possibly Just a Very Cool Place to Wine, Dine, and Shop

Airports of the Future: Streamlined Security Clearance, Increased Comforts, and Possibly Just a Very Cool Place to Wine, Dine, and Shop

NEW YORK/ July 19, 2018 (STL.News) Consumers looking for a great location with a selection of restaurants, entertainment, and shopping on a Saturday night may soon find themselves heading to their local airports. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the number of air travelers is expected to double to a staggering 7.8 billion by 2038. So how will airports be able to accommodate this level of traffic without insane delays and hassles? Moreover, will airports of the future be able to capitalize on the increased traffic flow and transform itself into a destination of the future? Will nearby hotels with cityscape views be replaced with onsite hotels with direct views of the runway? According to experts who sat down with ExpertFlyer.com, the answer is a resounding yes. While experts each have their opinions about how airports will transform themselves for the future, they all agree that Technology, in a word, will be the catalyst for success. According to Dr. Joe Leader, CEO of the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX), biometric facial recognition, fingerprint ID, and RFID tags for luggage will all work in tandem to provide a seamless, end-to-end security protocol to effectively “push” large volumes of travelers safely to their destinations. “If you look at the greatest pain point for passengers, it’s typically the security lines, passport control, and baggage claim,” explains Dr. Leader during his in-depth podcast with ExpertFlyer. “Among all the new technologies being deployed, I think passengers will really love the RFID tags for tracking luggage. Many airline apps do this now but starting next year the service will be mandatory for all airlines.” “The use of biometrics technology will continue to contribute to greater efficiency related to security bottlenecks,” says Sherry Stein, Senior Manager of Projects & Innovation at Sita Lab. Solutions like SITA’s Smart PathTM allow airlines and airports to incorporate biometrics into an end-to-end process for passenger facilitation including check-in, self-bag drop, TSA checkpoint, and boarding. Most experts agree that “known traveler” programs such as TSA Pre-Check and Global Entry, will continue to grow in popularity. Collaboration and cooperation between airline, airport, and government agencies will continue to build a stronger foundation for delivering stellar service to the Connected Traveler. Many major airports today have hotels collocated and, along with fine dining options and high-end retail outlets, they themselves have become a destination. New airport construction projects such as those in Beijing, Dubai, and Istanbul promise to offer similar visions and services that will make travelers want to arrive early, enjoy the facilities, and forget they are en route to another destination.” According to Scott Amyx, thought leader and author on exponential technologies and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there is a massive transformation forthcoming at airports. “Select airports will not only support international and domestic travel, but also interstellar travel. This is the mission of SpaceX to not only launch cargo, but also passengers. Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin and Branson’s Virgin Galactica are also developing consumer options in space travel.” “Technology continues to be the impetus for improvements in airline travel at all levels and locations,” explains Chris Lopinto, president and co-founder of ExpertFlyer.com. “From airline designs to modernized airports with safe, streamlined security processes and amenities typically found only in shopping malls and downtown entertainment districts.” To learn more about how airports are shaping up for the future and listen to the podcast with Dr. Joe Leader from the APEX, visit ExpertFlyer’s blog. About The Airline Passenger Experience (APEX) APEX encompasses a network of businesses and professionals that are committed to providing a world-class airline experience for passengers around the globe. As a non-profit, APEX reinvests all of its resources to better serve its members.
